Kassina senegalensis (Duméril and Bibron, 1841) Bubbling View in CoL Kassina

Material: NB525 ( T 1); NB536 (tadpoles) (7); NB545 ( T 3); NB552 ( T 2); NB761 (26).

Comment: Widespread throughout Africa and in Angola ( Baptista et al. 2018; Marques et al. 2018). This species has been previously recorded in BNP as tadpoles (A. Channing, pers. comm.). Although subspecies have been proposed based on color patterns ( Laurent 1957), more comprehensive studies are required to resolve this species’ taxonomy.
